I don't need to tell if the code was generated by COBOL or not :). (I
also just realized that that was a joke.) I was just thinking that
there was probably a COBOL Web application back end floating around in
the world somewhere and I wondered if I could find one, that's all?

I first wrote one with Microsoft 4.5 running on OS/2 under Netscape Web
Server. The code moved to MicroSoft 5.0 DOS on Win3.11 with some http
server I forget and under Xitami on Win95/98. It runs on Linux under
Apache and there are only a few code changes for each environment.

The important thing is to use templating for the output, then the
program doesn't care if it is outputting HTML, text reports, CSV, XML,
or Postscript.
